Let us consider the title 'consociate pharmacist'?

摘要

I agree with Dr John Hunt, that the term "inactive pharmacist", with all the passivity it implies, should be avoided (PJ, 5 April, p478). However, in addition, I find "non-practising pharmacist" bland,and "emeritus pharmacist" confusing. As for "associate pharmacist", it seems to be a suitable title, but investigation of its etymology leads me to support an alternative: "consociate pharmacist".
